several days last week, making extensive

ed in the knee at Winchester, September
10. 1864, and having served 4 years, 6
months and % days received a govern
ment bounty. He was discharged May

On Sunday last, in accordance with an
nouncement, Rev. J. E. Bowen admins
tered the ordinance of infant baptism.
The floral decorations prepared for the
OCCdSLOh vi oibbPiJ NAdtiotgS' 1HCy
consisted of a chaplet upon the desk of
the white. star like blossoms of the nico-
tina. the dark green leaves, mingled with
the shell pink flowers of the double bal
som, together with the sweet alyssum
and ~mignonette. A similar arrangement
upon the communion table was supple
mented by a large boquet of white flow
ers rising from a central mound, below
which rested the baptismal font. Mr..
Bowen's little grandson received the
name of Guy %Swinburne, his mother and
grandmother standing as sponsors. We
understand the second nam was given
in honor of DR.. John %Swinburne, an en-
inent surgeon, under whom DR.. G.. II.
Holton has studied. Warren Woodruff
and wife presented their infant son, who
received the rite of baptism. There was
some little misunderstanding as to the
time OF the ceremony, but unwilling to
disappoint the parents, Mr.. Bowen again
performed the ceremony, emitting some
portions of the ritual.
